Chapter 085 She Was Not Happy

  "It's laughable, right? She's only 8 years older than me, yet she's going to be my stepmother. I always thought that everything could be analyzed rationally and developed in the most stable state, but in the end, it still turned out to be a melodramatic TV series." Xing Miao sneered coldly, her usual confidence and courage nowhere to be found, lying on the hospital bed, she felt more helpless than ever.

  She thought she could do everything well, she thought she could control her emotions, but in the end it was all just "she thought", the complicated reality was torn apart in front of her eyes, and all her pride and self-respect were like a cold joke in the face of truth.

  "Xīn miǎo......" Xi Xi didn't know how to comfort her, perhaps what she wanted wasn't comfort, but just someone to listen. So she sat on the edge of the bed, holding her right hand that didn't have an IV drip, and silently looked at her.

  "I'm fine." Xian Mi forced out a smile, but it didn't make her complexion look any better.

  This was the first time Xia Xixi heard Liu Xuanmo talk about her family, and although it was only a few words, she deeply felt her helplessness and the oppressive atmosphere of her family.

  She envied Xi's material wealth, using the most advanced electronic products, wearing clothes she could only see in store windows, having the best boyfriend, and scrutinizing the world with a critical eye, living like a princess.

  But at this moment, she only had sympathy for her. The princess living under the halo was actually not happy. She had unspeakable bitterness and helplessness. Xia Xi suddenly realized that the trivial and warm family affection she possessed might also be envied by many people, including Yu Xuan.

  Perhaps infected by Xian's mood, Xi Xi was in low spirits all the way home from the hospital, until she left the hospital, Xian's father did not rush over.

  She can't objectively evaluate him from Xunmei's perspective. Maybe he is a successful entrepreneur, creating great value for society, and a charming middle-aged man who makes young women adore him, but what she sees is a completely failed father.

  Daughter's high fever hospitalized, unable to rush over, how important is career, can it surpass the connected bloodline? Power, money, kinship, love, everyone has their own ranking of these terms in their heart. In Xia Xi's view, nothing surpasses kinship, even love will eventually transform into a form of kinship, she cannot understand Xuan Miao's father's choice.

  If one has to give up simple emotions such as affection in order to be successful, then she would rather not be successful.

  Every family has its own unsolvable problems, and even if she were in a situation that evoked sympathy and admiration, it would be impossible for her to share the burden.

  Xia Xi's bad mood didn't last long, she pushed open the door and saw a table full of delicious food, instantly throwing her worries far away, opening her arms to give her mother a big hug, she was still the little girl who never grew up in her parents' eyes.

  The time on the dinner table is Xiaoxi's favorite, with three people sitting together eating and chatting about recent interesting things, always making her feel that her happiness is almost overflowing.

  A warm feeling swept away the gloom in her heart, and she connected to Chen Yan's phone, her tone much softer than usual.

  "How is Liu Xuan?" Chen Yanzhuo hesitated for half a day before opening the conversation with such a question.

  If it were any other time, Xi Xi would have retorted with a joke, wondering if you didn't know how to ask her yourself. But she was in an exceptionally good mood after dinner, and since Chen Yan had helped take Xian Miao to the hospital that afternoon, she patiently replied: "She's much better now, but still needs an IV drip, so she'll probably be hospitalized for a few days."

  "Oh" Chen Yan responded with a sound, unsure of how to continue the conversation further. He and Xia Xi seemed to have little resonance between them except for debate and rivalry.

  The two people on both sides of the phone were silent, Xi Xi wanted to break the silence, but really didn't know how to start, if he provoked her, she could retort, if he spoke sarcastically, she could counter with sarcasm, but once he was silent, she didn't know what to do.

  Even in the face of Lin Xiaojun, who was stingy with words, she could talk and laugh freely. However, when facing Chen Yan, she would get tongue-tied and rack her brains, not knowing what to say.

  "Are you okay? Then I'll hang up." The silent atmosphere always made her feel awkward, so XiXi was eager to get herself out of this kind of atmosphere.

  "Wait a minute!" Chen Yan hastily said as she was about to hang up the phone. "Do you play pool?"

  "Huh?"

  "Do you play billiards?" Chen Yan's tone was calmer when he asked again, and he let out a sigh of relief that he had finally found a topic to talk about.

  "What if I won't?" Xi Xi was confused by his sudden question, she couldn't think of what he was trying to get at, and thought he was just trying to pick a fight again. She retorted: "No one says I have to be good at it, being good at pool doesn't add points to the college entrance exam either. Besides, can you sew clothes for dolls?"

  Chen Yan burst out laughing on the other end of the phone, sewing clothes for a doll? He really didn't know how to do it. Xia Xi was showing off her skills from kindergarten days and refused to admit defeat. How competitive she was!

  "Nothing's wrong, I'll teach you. Tomorrow at 10 am, meet me at the entrance of the Youth Activity Center." Chen Yan said and hung up the phone before she could react.

  "Hey! I haven't agreed yet!"

  Arrogant and overbearing, this person is really self-conceited, what makes him so sure she will agree to go.

  As she thought about it, he hung up the phone in such a hurry, could it be that he was afraid of being rejected? Thinking of this possibility, Xi Xi's joy quickly spread, Chen Yan ah Chen Yan, it turns out you also have times when you're not confident. She rarely discovered Chen Yan's weakness and secretly rejoiced, but at the same time, she also regretted not letting him down earlier. However, tomorrow seemed to hold many such opportunities.

  She spent half a day choosing clothes in front of the wardrobe, and suddenly remembered the dress that Chen Yan had given her and was relegated to the cold palace by herself. After rummaging through the boxes, she found it out, tried it on in front of the full-length mirror for half a day, tailored to perfection, simple and elegant, showing off her figure and skin tone, showcasing the girl's tenderness and beauty to the fullest.

  The skirt is great, but wearing it tomorrow would be too deliberate, like carrying some kind of implication.

  Pfft, she didn't mean it that way. With a red face, she stuffed the skirt back into the closet and struck an Ultraman pose in front of the mirror. Xia Xi thought to herself: Little monster, surrender quietly!
